The idea that seemingly unrelated events can be grouped by "meaning" almost seems indicative of some kind of mental problem to me.

This is why they don't let you practice psychiatry.

Applying a deeper meaning to coincidences, unsupported by evidence, strikes me as delusional.

There was this hot chick I met briefly who lived far away. We tried to hook up for almost two years. Finally, I told her to meet me in ChinaTown in San Francisco. She agreed. It was in between us and like 50 miles away for both of us.
At the end of my mongolian beef, I cracked open a fortune cookie. It read: "Friends are anxious to meet you half-way."
After that I believed in Crop Circles and Atlantis.

I believe in crap circles.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

He did not treat the trauma but instead invoked the supernatural by lending credence to the idea that the dead could be contacted.
Do you make this stuff up as you go, or do you favor reading historically spurious sites?
i do not dismiss scholars of reputation without serious consideration.
Fortunately for you, since you do not have any place in making such an utterly ego-inflated claim, or to be academically or experientially dismissive of Analytical Psychology. Have you many hours of personal analysis? Do you know any Jungian analysts? Ever had any analytical training? Ever taken any course in grad school specifically on Jung's work? Read the corrections on Jung by Richard Noll (Aryan Christ and The Jung Cult)? I'm just asking, because you are confounding Jung's personality with the school he established. Why, you even imply that he was German, when he was in fact Swiss.

All I can say is you took your time making it to the OP.

I just got this from a friend and thought I HAVE to share this with you guys:
Today I went in to the grocery store to do a WU transaction, and before leaving my home I picked a random name and address from the white pages to use for my transaction. I get there, fill out the WU forms etc and hand it to the clerk. After a brief few moments of typing in all the info into the computer, she turns around and says "This can't be your address!" I'm thinking oh shit stay cool..what the hell have I done to blow my cover?
I ask her what the problem is and she says THAT'S HER ADDRESS! She lived in the house that I picked randomly from the phone book! (there are over 120k people in my city, btw). I didn't believe it so she went and pulled out her driver's license and I'll be god damned if the same address wasn't on her ID. I mean wow.. that is definitely among the biggest coincidences I have ever encountered in my life so far. I laughed it off and I think I'm ok as far as getting busted / cover blown there. I told her that I don't like receiving junk mail and I was afraid WU would use my info to spam me.
Is that weird or what?
